Power Query Editor - What column and Data Type is it?

Good morning

I have few notions for reporting with Power BI.

I am doing a report in power bi and I am comparing it with another report that is already done.

The problem is that there is a field, which I do not know where it gets it because in the table it does not exist.

I'm with the Power Query editor and I don't know how it got that column (REF_Delegación) because it doesn't exist in the table.

The field that I would like to know how he has achieved it is REF_Delegación and I do not know what the icon next to the

REF_Delegación. What kind of field is it and how can I get it to add it to the query?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards.

    Power Bi is detecting that a related table exists and puts that in a column. If you click the icon at the top you can expand the table and select columns from the related table.

  • Clicking on the icon, it shows me which is the table that is being related.

    That was my doubt.

    Thank you very much for the quick response.
